By West Kentucky Star Staff

GRAVES COUNTY - The Graves County Sheriff's Office's Cram
the Cruiser event was a huge success.

During the month of November, deputies
collected 1,320 toys, clothes and school supplies to be sent to local family resource centers. Most of the items will go to the
Community Christmas Connection to help families who are in need of a
helping hand, and provide a brighter Christmas for their children.

Deputies also collected 357 items to go
to the Lighthouse Women's and Children's Shelter. These items include
cleaning products, paper products, snacks and toiletry items.
Finally, deputies collected 1,755 food items that will be used in the
local food pantry to help feed those who are hungry this Christmas.

"We cannot thank the people of
Graves County enough for their generosity with this program,”
Graves County Sheriff's Office Captain Jeremy Prince said. “All we
did was supply the cruiser. The citizens of Graves County did such an
awesome job of showing how much they care for their neighbors that
are in need."

Captain Prince thanked the Dollar
General stores in Graves County for their help and support with this
program as well as the employees of the sheriff's office who helped
with the program over the last month. He also like thanked his wife,
Jaime, and his daughter, Olivia, for all of their help with sorting
and counting all of the items.
